> Why would I otherwise spend years of my life handcrafting something where I just want to see how my harebrained ideas play out when actualized?
If you're sure that's all you wanted out of it. If this were more a path-vs-destination kind of project for you, you might have gotten deep insights about programming language design and implementation over those years which the efficient route deprives you of.
Thanks for your perspective and taking the time to lecture me!
I did miss the sarcasm you pointed out in the separate mail to me (I should have paid more attention to the word "otherwise", I guess). I did not mean to lecture at you at all. I thought it was something you built very quickly with LLMs, but clearly this was a passion project, whether or not you used LLMs.
My apologies.
It's OK, I was being overly sensitive based on the other comment in this thread. In fact, I do value the journey over the destination and it is helpful to be reminded of this. I've updated the project's README to make this explicit!
